It sounds as though the Help Agency is more interested in helping the aides than in helping the residents. After all, they have to protect their phony-baloney jobs, don't they?
Needless to say, I wasn’t happy. He kept whining about how these people were in low-paid jobs, and I almost said, “At least they HAVE jobs!” I bit my tongue a lot in that phone call, and was really unimpressed with his entire conversation.
I will send him a copy of the CFIDS protocol, as well as send one to the manager of the agency that they are using for their aide pool. I need to stop this before I go into a relapse, which is the worst thing I can think of for the duration.
This last year has been a good year, as CFIDS goes, and I had more good days than bad ones. I don’t want to relapse over anything, but I have no control over that. And that’s something they don’t know. So I’m praying for stability in my demeanor... And an abeyance of the relapse.
